- Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
Somebody please remind whoever wrote the article about the Springer and Steeljaw listings that Earthrise Snapdragon exists, and that SIEGE Springer and Apeface were in the same line as Astrotrain. So no, Astrotrain and Putzwing are not some universal sign that triple changers will all be Leader-class. The only thing that would really point that direction is Sandstorm's somehow ending up at Leader-class.
The leader Springer listing could just be - and had better just be - something in the same vein as Coronation Starscream, where it's a Voyager base figure bumped up to Leader price point by extra accessories.
After all, there is literally nothing Springer would gain from having a full new mold made at the Leader price point. Doing so would be even more of a pointless trainwreck than Legacy Putzwing (they shoulda done Octane instead) was. Nor is there really room in his design for similar faux-parts shenanigans to Putzwing.
Using the price point to give the SIEGE mold a transforming rotor sword and some movie props (like maybe the launcher from the battle of Autobot City), on the other hand... That would be welcome, and make much more sense.

Di Bonaventura is not a credible or trustworthy source. And most fans do like the diversity push, thanks.
